Hi, as requested in the intro section, here are some pics of my layout. Its in a 10x8 shed and is based on the Cambrian area in the late 50s/early60s. These aren't new pics, will post some more up to date ones soon.


I painted a basecoat on the green areas that wasn't quite the right shade of green!
Have since started putting scatter etc... on top so looks better now!

Ex GWR Manor 7829 Ramsbury manor with the Cambrian Coast Express - I will eventually rename this as a manor that was actually on the Cambrian.....

Yeah sure....


An Ivatt stops at the station. In reality these were only ever used on the cambrian briefly to see whether they'd be any good to use on the line....But I decided I could use my 'modellers license'!

They look great, thanks for sharing them.

I like the 'eye level' shots. The last two are very realistic.
Very nice. I don't suppose you have a track plan you could post?

David

Your layout looks great. A collet goods - nice loco. Is the trestle bridge based on the one across the R. Dovey?

Hi again Tom,
The trestle bridge is just a typical structure of the dozens used on the Cambrian lines. I supose Barmouth being the most well known.

I used the bridge at Caersws as a basis for the model. Simply because that is the nearest to my home location!

Hi Tom,

I don't know if you have any locoshed information. You may find this useful http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~luigin/L...ed/Locoshed.htm It covers the years 1948,50,52,55,59,60,62 for all BR sheds. I had seen reference to this site before but others and myself could not get connected and I dropped on it by accident while searching for something else.

Regards Bizerba
Hi bizerba,
Thanks for that link its really useful - can be sure of which locos were at Machynlleth, Oswestry, Llanidloes etc.....
coming along very nicely


How long has it took you to get to the stage you are at know?
